The only thing I wasnt aware of until I went to have something worth a large sum donated to a Museum for my Granfathers "Legacy" as it were.
MANY Are Not NON Profit, and DO sell items regularly.
Ask if they will be sold off (maybe thats Ok depending on what they do with the $) Displayed , whatever you wish of them, 1 a large well known museum even kept calling back, and back and back....then only to find out while they have an amazing display they quite regularly sell stuff off to keep the place "profitable" ?!?!
But in our case donating something worth 40k only to have it sold to a collector would make us sick. They need to be "Seen" in our case....

Recently it has been brought to my attention that I could donate them to Darwin Dolls' (former D1 Director) museum here in Division one .Has anyone else had any experience with this organization? Sounds like a good idea but ........Does anyone have contact info for him ?
